Which effect occurs when a hibernating mammal spontaneously increases blood flow through surface capillaries?

💡 Explanation

When a hibernating mammal undergoes vasodilation, it increases peripheral blood flow because heat dissipation rises, serving to raise the animal's core temperature after a period of reduced metabolic activity during torpor. Therefore, reversal of hypothermia results, rather than suppression, activation, or Q10 decrease which would not directly counteract the hypothermic state.
